thx henry. yeah, i was guessing it *might* be the jdm option, just wasn't sure. i just want to make sure that it's not a US spec option that's missing (like how the 450h and 460 has the power mode switch, but the regular 350 and AWD has the blank (cover) switch in that same place).

hey guys, I have a question about the same button, but mine is not empty - it shows a car that has kinda like wifi waves inside coming from the top of the car and then "OFF" beneath car. Nothing about this button in the owners manual. Any idea what it does?
I`ll try to take a picture tomorrow.

Yep, I got that ThomasGS4, still don't know what the button is. Call Lexus Tech Support, you can reach them at this number:
(630)323-5600
Obviously, this is my local Tech support specialist, but you can search the web for your local dealer and they should have a number listed for their Tech support guy... He'll know...
FYI - I couldn't open your picture...

Overhead dome light?? LOL
Speaking of the overhead dome light, that is the only complaint I have with this car, the interior lighting is terrible. It's so difficult to see anything in the back seat at night when opening the doors. I like to check the back seat before I get into a car - for security reasons, and it's just difficult when there is no dome light. No lights come on when I enter the vehicle, maybe it's a setting I haven't found yet??

basically while on cruise control if that's on, its a certain distance where when you come up to a car on cruise control it will automatically slow down the car and then pick back up. not sure if you can set the distance though.

It is there so if you leave windows down, and someone reaches into the car to steal something then the alarm will sound.
